MONROE - Billed as funny and upbeat, with just a pinch of sass, the Good Lovelies prove they are not your run-of-the-mill "all girl" band. The Good Lovelies will perform their brand of Western swing and folk-roots music at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30 at the Monroe Arts Center Gunderson Stiles Concert Hall stage, 1315 11th St.
The Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore; the three are best friends and have been performing together since 2006. The Toronto-based trio entertain with three-part vocal harmonies, clever songs, constant instrument swapping, and on-stage banter drawn from comedic adventures on the road.
The lighthearted songwriting and buoyant dispositions of Brooks (vocals, guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass), Ough (vocals, guitar, banjo, keyboard, bass), and Passmore (vocals, guitar, bass, percussion), have made them the poular on the summer festival circuit. With three albums under their belts - "Good Lovelies Oh My" (2007), "Under the Mistletoe" (2009), and "Let the Rain Fall" (2011) - the Good Lovelies won New Emerging Artist at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards. In 2010, they received a prestigious Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Roots Album of the Year.
